Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to modify the FDM 3D printer to print with polystyrene (PS) microspheres as the printing material, thus enabling bottom-up structural color printing and evaluating structural color printing.

Design/methodology/approach

This study chose a range of different heated bed temperatures to determine a suitable temperature for accelerating the self-assembly of photonic crystals and printing structural colors on various substrates. In addition, this study enhanced the structural color by doping PS microspheres with different contents of Acid Black 210 dye and evaluated the color-enhanced structural color by eye and spectrophotometer under different light sources.

Findings

The results show that the modified 3D printer can be used for structural color printing, and 50°C is determined as the heated bed temperature. There are significant differences in structural colors when printing under different color backgrounds and material substrates, and corresponding suitable substrates should be selected according to the application. The doping of PS microspheres with varying contents of dye results in different color levels of structural color. As with pigment colors, the visual perception of structural color varies when viewed under different light sources.

Originality/value

This paper proposes to print structural colors low-costly, analyze structural colors under substrate and light source conditions, and expand the structural color gamut by enhancing structural colors, which has positive implications for further research on structural colors as printing colors.

Abstract

Purpose

To study and validate the relationship between the development of Chinese non‐state‐owned enterprise (Chinese non‐SOE), and cultivation of scientific and technological competence empirically.

Design/methodology/approach

Correlation analysis in SPSS is used to analyze the correlation between Chinese non‐SOE and cultivation of scientific and technological competence based on the statistic data released by China Statistical Bureau from 1987 to 2005. Furthermore, their relationship is validated by means of Granger causality test in Eviews 3.0.

Findings

This paper finds serial GDP of Chinese non‐SOE is a first difference stationary, while serial total funds of S&T activities of Chinese non‐SOE is a second difference stationary. After they are adjusted to be difference stationary, we find that there is not only a positive correlation, but also a bilateral Granger causality between the two variables.

Practical implications

From the point of view of a practitioner engaging in China trade, this study suggested that when all level governmental departments and all Chinese non‐SOE establish economic development strategies and policies for cultivating scientific and technological competence, the interaction relationship must be taken into consideration in order to avoid negative impact on the sustainable development of Chinese non‐SOE.

Originality/value

This study provides reference and benchmark to Chinese non‐SOE's development and will help to enhance its international competence.
